also from what ive read here people always say to remove that nwiz.exe

nwiz.exe is associated with newer versions of nvidia video cards. However it is not neccessary and can take up RAM.

Check your CPU usage. Right click on the start tool bar and get to taks manager. then under processes look under CPU row. Are there any processes running at a high number. Note: System Idle Processes should be high.

To view and download updates for your computer, Windows Update should be listed as a Trusted Site in Internet Explorer.

To add Windows Update to the trusted sites zone:

On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options. Click the Security tab. Click the Trusted Sites icon, and then click Sites... Uncheck the "require server verification" checkbox. Make sure the following URLs are listed in the Web Sites list box: http://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.comhttp://*.windowsupdate.comNote: If you need to add a URL to the Web Sites list and the Add button is disabled, contact your system administrator.
